FIRST GALLIC Golf Football ALLENTOWN, PA. Outdoors SECTION SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1976 emn State clings to: victory COLLEGE STATISTICS showed the crowd a freshman fullback, Matt Suhey, who last year at this time was running the football for State College High School. But the offense bogged down almost as quickly as it started, and Penn State had to turn to its most potent weapon of recent years the defense to The Diange interception stood out on an afternoon when the Penn State secondary got a most severe test. The secondary, primarily Bill Crummy, Gary Petercuskie and Neil Hutton, earned its stars along with the upfront defenders. Unquestionably, the key defensive play was turned in by Bill Banks and Ron Crosby when they ganged up on Cordova that resulted in a 16-yard loss.

Banks and Crosby could not have timed In that quick start, Penn State, which took a number of sharp raps for its lackluster offense last year, showed sparks of perking up considerably. John Andress, the senior who was Paterno's "sentimental choice," as the starting quarterback, completed a beauty that netted 44 yards. The pass was thrown perfectly and Jim Cefalo, the Pittston whiz, was on the receiving end. That was the key to the first Penn State score. However, Andress tailed off considerably as the Stanford defense baffled the Penn State offensive line.

For the afternoon Andress completed just four of 18. His understudy, Chuck Fusina, whom some called the "people's choice" had a terribly tough time of it. his right side. But just as important were his two up-the-middle runs in the final quarter when the heat was clearly 'on the Penn State offense. Suhey's first run was for 23 yards and the second for 19.

In both of them, he showed the clever footwork as well as speed for his stocky build. "He got most of his yardage on his own," was the way Paterno spoke of Suhey. "He showed us plenty." It could be mentioned that the defense put the Penn State offense in motion in the first quarter when the Lions raced to a 15-0 lead. Three fumble recoveries by Joe Lally, Kurt Allerman and Diange resulted in the three scores. Steve Geise, who showed some flashes of his own, scored the first from one-yard out.

It was followed by a 33-yard field goal from Matt Bahr, brother of last year's kicker Chris Bahr. Suhey got the last score from the 6, capping a 48-yard drive in eight plays. wound up being a fourth and 40 from the 45. "Our defense played extremely well," said Paterno "I don't want to single out any one player. It was a real good team effort.

We mixed things up well and we didn't miss many assignments." As Paterno doled out credit for the defense, he put the rap on his offensive line, wich, as he said, "did a poor job of handling their didn't have very good protection for our passer and we didn't throw the ball well at times, but we had enough offense when we had to hang on to the ball." The offense in this opener was practically all Suhey, a 5-11, 209-pound teenager who got the starting assignment because his older brother Larry pulled up lame in preseason practice. Freshmen runners aren't expected to do the things he did. Suhey was easily the game's leading ground gainer with a 119 yards in 23 carries. He scored Penn State's second touchdown on a nifty six-yard dash off their heroics better. With 4:17 left, Stanford, thanks to a fake punt that gained 22 yards, got to the Penn State 14.

In between, Cordova was teasing the defense with some quick pass patterns, completing two for 11 yards apiece. However, when the Cardinals got to the 14, they were pushed backwards once by a penalty for an illegal receiver downfield and then by the Banks-Crosby that wrestled the big Cordova down on the 45. What was a sticky first and 10 at the 14, Phils' lead preserve the victory over the Pac-8 visitor and its dangerous quarterback Mike Cordova. The Penn State defense, despite its inexperience, turned in a number of clutch plays, especially late in the third and fourth quarters when it appeared that Cordova was in command, guiding the Cardinals to very serious scoring threats. Joe Diange, a junior linebacker from upstate New York, dashed one drive when he intercepted a Cordova pass with less than three minutes left in the third quarter.

It came only minutes after Cordova, a 6-3, 215-pounder, connected on a dandy 48-yard scoring pass to his veteran wide receiver Tony Hill. PHILADELPHIA (AP) Pinch-hitter John Summers smashed a three-run homer in the 12th inning, snapping a tie and lifting the Chicago Cubs to a 4-1 victory over the faltering Philadelphia Phillies Saturday. The loss was the 13th in 15 games for the National League Eastern Divison leaders, who pace the Pittsburgh Pirates by just four games. The Pirates beat Montreal 4-3 Saturday. Summers, who had only two home runs coming into the game, cracked relief pitcher Ron Reed's first pitch to him deep into the right-field seats.

Reed, 8-5, had given up consecutive singles to Manny Trillo and Joe Wallis to open the 12th, After a sacrifice, Summers, pinch-hitting for relief pitcher Bruce Sutter, 5-3, broke the tie. national cut to 4 Chicago starter Ray Burris, after yielding an unearned run in the third, retired 13 straight Phillies before pinch-hitter Tommy Hutton broke the string in the eighth. Hutton, hitless in his last 10 at-bats, opened with a double. After a fielder's choice and a popup, Mike Schmidt walked but Greg Luzinski grounded into a forceout. Before leaving in favor of Hutton, Philadelphia's Tom Underwood gave up eight hits in eight innings, the only damage coming on Rick Monday's solo homer in the first.

Underwood, who struck out seven and walked two, allowed baserun-ners in every inning but two, working out of trouble several times. Burris left with no outs and two runners on in the 10th. having yielded six hits, walked three and struck out four.

That is, for the first 10 minutes or so, anyway.

"We planned to go right after them offensively to throw the football to do anything," is how Paterno explained it after his Nittany Lions set back Stanford 15-12 before a record crowd of 61,645 at Beaver Stadium. The plan worked in a hurry. Penn State had a 9-0 lead before Stanford even ran a single play from scrimmage. The game was less than 10 minutes old and Penn State boosted that lead to 15-0 and in the process Lafayette falls 16-6 to Army STATISTICS A First downs 13 19 Rushing yardage 45 167 Passing yardage 108 183 Passes 9-25 16-27 Passes intercepted by 2 1 Punts 9-34 6-43 Fumbles lost 2 2 Yards penalized 25 35 By PAUL REINHARD Call-Chronicle Sports Writer WEST POINT, N.Y. In many ways, the people at Army will be happy to forget 1976.

For the academy, it's been a year in which a cheating scandal has dealt a serious blow. For the football team, resignations, injuries and various other decisions not to play ruined Homer Smith's preseason planning. One of the few bright spots through it all has been Clennie Brundidge, who had decided during the summer he would not return to play football and then showed up on the first day of fall practice, anyway. Smith wasn't expecting to see Brundidge, but the big sophomore proved to be impressive enough to allow Jeff Jancek to move inside and plug up a hole created by injury. And on Saturday, Brundidge helped the Cadets fight off game Lafayette 16-4 in the football season opener before 20,865 fans at Michie Stadium.

Lafayette gave Army all it could handle during the first two periods, running 42 offensive plays to 33 for the Cadets. But the Leopards failed to score on a golden opportunity late in the first half; and things turned around after that. Army ran 24 plays to Lafayette's nine in the third period and scored 10 points to pull away from a 6-6 tie and break a nine-game losing streak. Brundidge, a 6-4, 220-pounder, was the key. He was running behind Jancek at tight end in preseason but became No.

1 after, an injury to Jim Hollinsworth resulted in some shuffling that sent Jancek to tackle. Cadet quarterback Leamon Hall was 16 for 27 for 183 yards Saturday and Brundidge caught 10 of those for 142 yards. In the first half, the two combined for eight receptions for 92 yards. Three of those gains of 19, 18 and 17 yards came in a 49-yard drive that gave the Cadets their only points of the half. But the real damage came later.

Unfortunately for the Allentown Patriots, Rich Hull and the LeBlanc Barons of Sunnyvale, don't believe in signs. Hull yielded only three hits and struck out 13 Patriot batters In one of the day's top efforts as the Calif ornians grabbed a 3-1 victory and successfully advanced into the second round last night while dropping the tournament host into the loser's bracket before a meager crowd of about 2,000.

In yesterday's 294 win over Kutztown State in Taylor Stadium, Whitehead didn't have to make the choice. The win was all but taken care of in the first 4:30 of play when the Engineers struck for two quick touchdowns and Lehigh's new head coach took advantage of an excellent opportunity to evaluate his team's talents. Whitehead explained, "We went into the game with two objectives.

First, we wanted to win and we didn't care if it was 7-6 or 29-6. Second, we wanted to find out what our people could do." One of the more pleasant things he found his team could do was play solid defense something Whitehead was hoping for, but concerned about since his entire front four is new. He also found out his team can move the ball on offense, although a combination of Lehigh's experimentation and Kutztown's spirited second-half play didn't produce much movement in the final 30 minutes. "I'm not completely happy. But give Kutztown credit.

They did some things that caused us problems, mixed up their defense and some of our young people made mistakes." Whitehead also had to admit that those two quick touchdowns may have taken the starch out of his team as well as Kutztown. "We had our kids convinced that Kutztown was a pretty good football team and after we got those two quick TDs, they might have asked themselves if the coaches knew what they were talking about," Whitehead stated. Actually Lehigh was in control the entire first half and the way the defense was playing, Whitehead thought he could afford to start trying different Please See Page C-Z, Columa 1 PatrWt I I SwmyvtM tit Ml l-l Kell and Newherd, Hull tnd Uilltrt. an Mm.

(AP) Chris Evert solidified her position on the throne of women's tennis Saturday by crushing Evonne Goolagong 6-3, 6-0 in the final of the U.S.

Open Championships. Earlier, Jimmy Connors regained his image as a court killer and Sweden's Bjorn Borg drained the last bit of fire out of temperamental Ilie Nastase to gain the final round in the men's division. The aggressive American from Belleville, and the methodical 20-year-old from Stockholm will meet at the West Side Tennis Club Sunday for the $30,000 first prize. Miss Evert's surprisingly one-sided victory, following triumphs over her Australian opponent in the 1975 Open here as well Wimbledon, hoisted her onto catcher Greg Newhard tagged him out in the sixth inning. Visher tried to bowl over Newhard while trying to score all the way from tint on a steal and an overthrow by Newhard at second.

Second baseman George Brosky duplicated the effort on Jefferies in the third Inning, and they pulled a double play In the fourth, catcher Greg Newhard making the second putout on Bill Leiflers at third base.
